  1. What kind of budget are we talking? Since presently I have no budget, I guess I'm going to have to go with Air. Oh wait, that's a Macbook. So...if I had a budget I'd buy a Macbook Pro for about 3k. For PCs, HP has been good to me, I'd probably stick with them. With the same specs an HP would probably cost 1100-1200. That's what I have right now, an HP I bought for 1199. Are you shopping? Are we looking at <1000, <1500? Would a netbook work for you?

    Again, sorry about that Tiger...
  3. Le Balon Rouge a film by Albert Lamorisse Lasse Nielsen's Du er ikke alene Hope and Glory a film by John Boorman (if that counts as 'classic,' won the 1987 Golden Globe: Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and nominated for 5 academy awards) Edit for formatting...as usual...
  4. Round One: San Jose in 5, Detroit in 6; Chicago in 5, Vancouver in 4 Washington in 6, Pittsburgh in 6; New Jersey in 5, Buffalo in 7 Round Two: Vancouver in 5, Detroit in 7 Pittsburgh in 5, Buffalo in 6 Finals: Vancouver in 6, Buffalo in 5 Champion: Vancouver in 5 Edit was to add game counts...
  5. I have 16 speed-dial sites. I regularly use 10 of them. I have made 6 bookmarks and Opera came with like...5. It's kinda neat because in the address bar the first sites that come up are my bookmarks. I sort them into folders, sort of. I don't have enough bookmarks to make a true sort worthwhile. My speed-dial is sorted really well. GA [6] comes right after facebook [5] because 5-8 are my social sites. I am an advocate of bookmarks, I use them a lot at work. Probably 30 of them in 5 folders or so. Plenty.
  6. I'd be willing to enter, but I'd need step by step instructions of how to do it. I've never done a pool before let alone an online one.
  7. Well that's dishonest. I'm glad you turned it down, but sorry you didn't get a job.
  8. A check box "I read this" would require a lot of coding and effort. Myr is already working on a new eFiction setup, we should be patient and see what happens there. Yes I did read the whole thread, I just don't have comment on reviews.
  9. I'm 5 pounds shy of obese and my thighs don't touch.
  10. Like PrivateTim said, where are you? In the Lansing area there are several gay hangouts, people of all ages congregate. Many serve alcohol, but there are some that don't. Michigan Pride is a great organization to get involved with, I helped with the Pride rally two years ago and Gay Prom, it was a blast. Again, people of all ages.
  11. Land...what? Kidding. I've been cellphone only for nearly two years. My parents got rid of the land line not long after that (I never used it.) Never looked back, although I don't remember my mom's phone number now.
  12. I'll take this opportunity to be long-winded. Primary school was great. I had lots of friends and I was in the smart clique. Everyone liked us and wanted to be smart like us, and sometimes we had to let girls hang out with us, depending on the subject. I kind-of had a crush on one of the smart boys Lawrence. I also liked this girl Casey. I got my first kiss in second grade, from a girl named Andrea. That made me popular for a week, partly because I "saved her life" and partly because of the kiss. Middle school was okay. I had a couple of bullies, but I had a great group of friends. The bullies failed to break my spirit, but I did develop certain biases from the experience. I had a crush on this girl names Stephanie in sixth grade and made a fool of myself. I fell hard for my best friend the next year, and alienated him just before he left town. I was, again, one of the smart kids. That made me less popular, but I didn't care. I got on well with my teachers and my few friends, so that's what I cared about. High school was a nightmare. I had a few carry-over friends from middle school, and a large group from elementary now. I was the only one left from the original smart clique, Lawrence moved and the other boy started smoking pot. I was on the Quiz Bowl team, which made me terribly unpopular. I was shunned by popular kids, although they still talked to me sometimes. I stayed mostly in one clique but was categorized as a liaison, as I had friends in several cliques. Magic geeks, volleyball girls, nerds, choir, drama. The new smart clique was mostly people I had gone to elementary with, and I attribute that to our kindergarten teacher. She started us off right. I had friends, but no one I was close with. I rarely did anything outside of school with anyone. I had my share of crushes, but nothing serious. High school is where I became lethargic though. I stopped doing my homework my sophomore year. I lost any form of initiative I had by senior year. To do schoolwork or to have friends. I never developed the social skills I should have, nor had a serious relationship. I "missed out" on my teenage years as most people had something eventful happen in them. It doesn't bother me much anymore. I am who I am. Oh, I came out of the closet to my friends when I was a sophomore, at school when I was a junior and my parents found out three days before I graduated. That was not cool. Accepting community, friends, school. Angry parents. Mostly because I didn't tell them.
  13. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=dRV1GDuervE Not because I think Jesse is hot or anything. Someone I really like also enjoys this song. We sat close (thighs touching close, my arm around him) and listened to it several times; I of course got turned on. He didn't. Reminds me of that now though. Having a huge crush on Taylor when I was a kid helps, too.

    To expand on what Chase said, they look for plot holes or other awkward situations in the story. They are not editors of grammar, they are like editors of plots. You can tell the difference between a story on GA that has been beta'd and a story on Nifty that has not. There's often conflicting time lines, impossible situations, inconsistent characters, etc.
  18. Ooh, several iPeople here. My sister is an iPerson. I like all of the applications, but I am not terribly impressed with the interface, like Sky mentioned. Even coming from the nightmare that was my Cowon A3. I just got a new PMP, so I guess I can fill out my own questions. Do you have an MP3 player or PMP? PMP What brand? Model? Cowon S9 Are you loyal to this brand? Yes, reasonably loyal. I'm hoping for wifi in their next generation though, that's a huge drawback in my S9. If there isn't, I might go iThing or *gulp* MS Zune.
  19. I was 18, he was 28. Good times. It was just for fun though, had oral for the first time before bed then went all the way in the morning when I begged him. I met him online at a forum (not GA, it was a pretty creepy forum thinking back on it), we talked for years. We met up when I was 17 at an auto show, and made plans for me to visit him where he lives. So, we did. There was a mutual friend present, too. But I got to sleep with him in his room for a whole week. Good times. Not a terribly exciting story, sorry.

  21. I'm not terribly familiar with Sublime or Selena. I liked Nirvana though. MJ was also good. Of course I wish they were still here, it's sad when anyone dies young. It's really sad when you think about artists that died young, we talk about that all the time in my art history class, if they were that good while they were young think of how great they could have become...
